Assuming that you held the asset for a year or longer:
A capital gains rate of 0% applies if your taxable income is less than or equal to:
$47,025 for single and married filing separately;
$94,050 for married filing jointly and qualifying surviving spouse; and
$63,000 for head of household.
A capital gains rate of 15% applies if your taxable income is:
more than $47,025 but less than or equal to $518,900 for single;
more than $47,025 but less than or equal to $291,850 for married filing separately;
more than $94,050 but less than or equal to $583,750 for married filing jointly and qualifying surviving spouse; and
more than $63,000 but less than or equal to $551,350 for head of household.
However, a capital gains rate of 20% applies to the extent that your taxable income exceeds the thresholds set for the 15% capital gain rate.
$820,000 - $739,000 = $81,000 capital gain
$81,000 x 0% = $0 tax
$81,000 x 15% = $12,150 tax
$81,000 x 20% = $16,200 tax
You do not qualify for the sale of your home exclusion.
You won't pay taxes on the first $250,000 (also known as a gain) you make from the sale of your home (or the first $500,000 if you're Married Filing Jointly) if:
You owned the home.
It was your main home for two years or more within the five years leading up to the sale.
You waited at least two years between selling your primary home and excluding your first $250,000 or $500,000 from taxes. In other words, you may buy and sell as many primary homes as you'd like, but you'll only get this tax benefit every two years.
